Rachel and Michael were married in the beautiful fairyland of Mt Pisgah Arboretum - one of my very favorite places. Needless to say the entire day was super dreamy… such a romantic, joyful, heartfelt wedding. And what a lively dance party! It was so fun to hear the revelry through the trees when we snuck away for a few more portraits after cake cutting and first dances. A definite highlight was Boka Marimba’s set at the end of the night - Michael and friends joined the band for a few songs and it was amazing!! xo

Gabby and Alec’s wedding was absolutely breathtaking - with bright florals against the crisp white of the reception tent and the green of their venue, it was so elegant and thoughtfully planned. These two have so much fun together - their exuberance, sense of humor, and energy basically always make them the life of the party and their wedding was no exception!

Picha and Jason got married on a very June-in-Portland day as the weather ran the gamut from bright sunshine to overcast to pouring rain! The Rose Parade was the same day which made getting a cab to the church from the hotel very difficult for Picha - she was so relieved when she arrived and I could see her nervousness melt away during their first look. Oh, and can we talk about how incredible her dress is?!

I adore weddings at Oaks Pioneer Church - the space is so intimate and beautiful and the ceremony was absolutely lovely. We wrapped up portraits just in time for the rain to start and headed over to Gino’s Restaurant for their reception - amazing food and wine, what a perfect way to celebrate with their family and friends! xx

oh such a gorgeous evening with these two beautiful people! it was so fun to work with Picha and Jason. Picha had so many great ideas for the session and the light was just magical. hoping to share their wedding photos in the next few days :) happy new year everyone! and to all the newly engaged couples - congratulations!!! if you’re looking for a photographer, i’d love to help tell your story <3

well, it’s been about 6 months of weddings and other sessions since i’ve managed to blog anything - but i’m finally able to share what i’ve been up to here! first up is Lance and Lauren’s romantic wedding in Abigail’s Garden at the Abernethy Center.

It was a gorgeous May evening wedding, so lush and green! Lauren and her mom put together the most lovely decor - deep blue chevron table runners with gold accents and candles beautifully set off the shades of pink in the florals by Arranged For You.

Lance and Lauren’s love story has been a journey with ups and downs and they’ve made it through together, and built a strong family with their sweet son Grayson. Many of their friends and family gave emotional and heartfelt toasts that truly expressed just how loved and supported these two are. It’s been so fun reliving Lauren and Lance’s wedding day to make this post. Wishing them so much happiness!!!
